"Adam's" Pasta Bake

Adapted from a recipe I received from a friend at work (hence the Adam)

1 bag of pasta, shape of your choice
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 or 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 pound extra lean ground turkey
1/2 package turkey pepperoni
1 jar marinara sauce, flavor of your choice
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your pasta. Cook according to your taste and instructions on the package.

3. While pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in canola oil over medium heat. Once they have browned, add turkey and cook until no longer pink. Add marinara sauce and turkey pepperoni. Mix and let simmer until pasta is finished cooking.

4. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add sauce and turkey mixture. Stir until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

5. Pour into greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake 20-30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

*This recipe is very versitle. Add veggies if you are feeling fun! Use ground beef and real pepperoni if you feel so inclined. And heck, through in a couple red pepper flakes if you are wild and daring like that!
